MT Højgaard Danmark completed adding 100 thousand square metres of port areas that the Danish island seaport will use to execute offshore wind energy projects.

"With the completion of stage 3, we have taken an important step in strengthening the supply to Bornholm, also ensuring that we can continue the growth of shipping of offshore wind from Bornholm by now being able to handle two simultaneous projects," underscored the Port of Rønne's Managing Director, Lars Nordahl.

Dan Harborg Locht, Project Director at MT Højgaard Danmark, added, "When entering the contract for stage 3, we knew we would be under a lot of time pressure. It has been so throughout the entire execution, but with a sound collaboration between the Port of Rønne, their adviser NIRAS, our adviser Rambøll, and a skilled and dedicated project team at MT Højgaard Danmark, we delivered a fine result - and on time. We can all be proud of that."

The Port of Rønne underlined in a press brief that MT Højgaard Danmark spent some DKK60 million (€8.05m) on local subcontractors.

Rønne's future-fitting plans include extending the port's outer harbour, setting up a larger turning basin, erecting a new multi-purpose quay, and deepening the inner parts of the port.
